A Pestilence That WALKS in Darkness-A
Destruction That Wastes at MONDAY.
We have published in our columns from
time to time different advertisements In
regard to Bright's Disease and its cures.
What is this terrible diseased
We have taken the trouble to make an
Investigation from the best sources and
we give the results to our readers. -.
What astonishes US Is the general 1ndit-
ference given to kidney disorders. The
kidneys do not sound the alarm OF their
diseased condition, owing to the fact that
they have very few nerves, hence few sus-
pect that there Is any disease in them.
Irritation, Inflammation, liberation set in,
and then the little tubes, of which the kid
neys are full, are destroyed and thrown
off, and from this fact are called tube casts.
AS soon as this begins to take place it is
only question of how fast decomposition
goes on before the disease results fatally.
If the proper remedies are taken before
final decomposition Or waste Of these tubes
commences or becomes too far advanced,
that is the only and last chance for relief.
1t is at this point or before that Warmers
safe cure proves so beneficial, and may
neys if it has not advanced too far.
The most remarkable thing of all our in-
vestigation is the fact that the patient with
Bright's disease has no exclusive symp-
toms, but has the symptoms OF every COM
mon disease.
First he may possibly feel dull pain in
his back, generally upon one side, which
does not debar him from his usual business
routine. After time he may begin to feel
neuralgia pains. or have slight attack OF
what he may call rheumatism, or headache,
with high or dark colored urine, with an
unpleasant sensation in It's passage, and

DRESS MATERIALS.
A General Revival of Last Years Styles
for Spring and Summer.

DHESS WA EhlNIS.
A General Revival of Last Years Styles
for Spring and Summer.
India silks and French foulards are
largely imported for house dresses in
the spring and for general wear in
summer The old designs of flowers,
palms and Persian arabesques are
again shown, but the new fancy is for
plaids, bars and stripes in these silks,
very similar in coloring to those of cot.
ton or of wool goods. The violet blue
silks will have irregular bars OF pink,
and green, the darkest blue grounds.
will be crossed with white or with red,
and brown will alternate with ecru as
ground or as figures. The inch-square
plaids are thought handsomest in
light colors. while the dark
grounds look well in rather
large or extremely fine small crossings
of contrasting bars. The striped
designs are most varied of all, one of
the best new patterns being inch-wide
stripes of very fine white specks, with
blue, brown, green, gray, or dull red
stripes of the same width separating
them. The hair stripes of last year
are repeated, but have become monoton-
Gus, as they are in all kinds of fabrics.
Flowered stripes are very effective in
leaf or liIy-of- the-valley patterns, or in
slender vines of gay small buds partly
brown. Greek squares and the zigzag
of chuddah stripes are also shown. A
great deal of French foulard is in the
market, but this has worn so badly that
it has lost favor, and merchants are too
much given to calling it India silk be-
cause the latter is more durable. White
India silks, with all-over patterns of
2 graceful lines in black, brown, or scar
let, will make pretty summer dresses,
and there are many vatican and POM
padour designs of roses and pinks in
pale md charming eolors. The surahs,
with large, wide diagonal twills, are
shown in all solid colors and in many
plaids, come of the prettiest being dark
blue crossed with pink and lighter blue,
suede with bars of rose and green, and
green ground barred with pink. These
are to be made up in entire dresses
not in conlbinations-with velvet col
lar, vest and cuffs, and scalloped
drapery Oh lower skirts bordered with
velvet, or else folded in exceedingly
wide pleats with velvet inlaid between.

ELECTRIC METERS.
The Simple Method Employed for the Pur.
pose of Measuring Electricity.

The Simple Method Employed for the Pur.
pose of Measuring Electricity.
A reporter of Rochester paper, who
wanted to find out how electricity was
measured, investigated, with the fol-
lowing result: The first thing he
found bearing on the subject was an
iron box about twelve inches by ten,
in which was lnclosed the working
machinery. This was taken out and
shown to him, with clear explanation
of its method of operation. The cur
rent passes through the meter by two
routes One is broad and easy road
composed of a strip of zinc. The other
is circuitous journey over wire
through a block of zinc, through a
liquid dilute sulphate of zinc, through
another block of zinc, another wire
and so back to the main current.
These two blocks of zinc are immersed
in bottle filed with the liquid. The
popularity of the two routes is as ga
to l. That is, 974 times as much cleo
tricity travels by the direct all zinc
route as travels by the combined zinc
and water route. This proportion can
be determined by the relative resistance
of the metal and the solution used.
When the lights are burning and cleo
tricity is passing through the meter a
deposit of zinc is constantly carried
from one block of metal to the other
So that one block of metal becomes con-
tinually heavier at the expense of the
other. AT the end of the month these
blocks are carefully weighed, and by the
difference in weight from one month to
the next, as shown by the records,
is shown how much light has
been used during the month. One
milligramme represents six cents
worth of light, or ten-candle power
light in use for four hours. When a
light is turned out the circuit is broken,
not closed by a shorter circuit, and SO
the action of the meter is lessened by
Just that much. Two test circuits are
placed in each meter. These are often
found to record exactly the same
amount at the end of the month, and
rarely vary more than a milligranime
or two.-Scienc

1t is a good plan to wash horses
necks and shoulders with cold water
after the days work in spring and
summer. 1t will strengthen them and
prevent lameness and calling. This is
especially necessary if the horses have
not done much work in winter and are
then set to work suddenly in spring.
If horse be sick or lame or swelled,
bathing will often improve it. If the
parts affected be cold, then let the wa
ter be a little warm; but if the parts be
warm, let the water be cold. Some
salt dissolved in the water will add to
its efficiency. -Saas Francisco Ctron-

My friend not having half a dollar in

My friend then took second look at his

not have cost more than few cents to

An Indians Ingenuity.

A Western emigrant having stolen a
horse from an Indian, the latter convicted
him of the offense by very ingenious
plan. He complained to a Judge, who had
the emigrant, with the horse, brought be-
fore him. The prisoner swore that the
animal belonged to him, and that he had
brought it from the East, so that the
judge did not find himself in position to
convict. He was even about to return the
horse to him, when the Indian said: "It
you will allow me, will prove that the
animal belongs to me-" Immediately he
pulled off his cloak, and covering the
horses head, asked the emigrant Of which
eye it was blindi The robber was much
embarrassed at the question, but, never
theless, not to delay the court, he replied
at hazard that it was the right eye The
Indian, uncovering the head, exclaimed:
''rhe horse is not blind either Of the RICH
eye or the left" The Judge immediately
decided that the animal was his.

account of his early education in the
Forum. One day while at Yale he re-
ceived letter from his father asking
The son fastened to obey, and the father
took this way of giving the boy a hint.
He had taken some of the literary prizes
while in college, and as he was about to
return to New Haven, his father said:
by the way, there is another prize, the
largest Of all to be competed for"
eyes," the son answered ''the De-
Forest: but I stand little chance
of that; for, though l may be one
of the six Townsend prize-men admitted
to the competition, there are other speak
ers so much better that have little hope
Of taking it." He gave the son rather a
bcornful look and said very impressively:
'sIf were one of the first six competitors
In class of over hundred men, should
try very hard to be the first one" He said
nothing more, except goodbye. Young
White went back to college, engaged an
elocutionist to give him course in vocal
gymnastics, developed a strong, round,
flexible voice, and did his best,
which, in the competition with others,
was considered to be the best eff
fort of the six in oratory, and won the De
Forest prize. The story is characteristic
of the father and the son, and reveals the
secret of the success of the lives of both.
Most college youth take the bulls by the
horns, but young White took the course
that meant success and won what he
aimed to secure He has won at the best
end all through his life. The incident was
one of the testing points of the man. The
elder White knew where and how to ap.

knew how to take a hint and work it out

According to the San Francisco Chronicle
there can hardly be doubt that there is
something wrong about the Indian coun-

the bounds of the Cherokee reserva ton.
No country can ever be at high point Of
civilization in which there are no jails and
nobody does any thing to need them. We
have always been taught to look upon
Damon and Pythias as one of the mo st
beautiful stories of friendship and
honor. Listen to this from the
Cherokee Indian and ask yourself if
it does not give you some different
opinion of him. An Indian was shot for
killing another man some time ago. A
stranger in the Territory happened to be
with the sheriff when the news that the
appeal had been lost and the sentence
must be carried out.

And the merry stranger laughed. Next

selected his bosom friend as the man to
fire the fatal shot, an honor his bosom
friend esteemed highly. He took his
place; pinned piece of blue ribbon over

and stood up like a man. A few seconds,
there was shot, and he was dead.
